I work in the hotel industry.

Just to tie this into the cycling theme, the job I have now is the first I've ever had that is truly conducive to cyclocommuting.
I started as a musician in the eighties. Most of my work was in New York City, 30 miles from my home on Long Island, and way too far to drag a drum set on my rear rack. After that, I operated a home-based production company and could only really ride as far as the local 7-11 for coffee before work. That led me into a seven-year career in audio/video-based robbery investigations for Lloyd's of London during the early 2K's. This job had me flying to a different North American city virtually every day of the week, so the bike didn't come out very much at all during those years. Finally, an opportunity arose for a job with my local township, and, even though it meant a drastic reduction in income, it also meant I'd be working three miles from home. Even better, I could go to work in jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt every day. Having dreamed of commuting to work by bicycle for many, many years, I jumped at the offer before really thinking through the ramifications of making half the money I was used to. Still, for the singular reason that I can get to and from work on my own pedal power, I am really glad to be setting up PA systems and concert venues for my measly salary. |
I manage a database for the school district.

What is your day job?
1 Attachment(s)
After a decade in college studying marine ecology and evolutionary biology, then another couple decades in farming, construction, land use planning, I'm a natural historian for the state. Go figure.
|
I work in IT and do a little of everything including database administration and in house application development.

Yes, I'm over 50 and yes I am free from having to go to work. Happily retired. :thumb:
My previous working life was "using analyzers and chromatographs to tell computers what gases and chemicals were in pipes". |
I'm a project manager for a large construction company. Work has moved me to Mass, DC, Virginia, and NYC. I've been able to bike commute in all of these places. I'm very lucky.
|
I'm a mechanical engineer-turned-electrical/controls engineer, working for a custom air handler company. Lots of programming, and troubleshooting 480V electrical panels.
Quite a few people at work are cyclists, and had a team of 20 for a local organized cycle ride of 50 miles. |
Coordinator Quality Data/RN for a large healthcare system. Spent a couple of decades here in patient care delivery before moving into a job looking at patient records to see what we are doing in order to figure out how to improve our services.
Drive to work more often than I ride but have been biking to work in hospitals for 40+ years. |
Structural Engineer for an international A/E firm.
Bicycling appeals to my mechanical sense. I think my work has bled over to commuting. I don't pay the shop to repair unless absolutely necessary. I prefer to think it out myself - "what are the stresses?", "is it prone to fatigue?", "right spoke pretension?", "can I patch that?". And then there is the riding "what is my wind drag sail area?", "rolling resistance?", "weight and acceleration?". It appeals to me for many reasons... |
I sell home theater systems, pretty fun especially when the customers let you do what with their money!

Im a manager for a larger, slowly crumbling retail store, that I cant recommend patronizing. I go into work, flick my wrist and everything done actual work wise. Dealing with the general masses though? God... However it is very convenient for commuting to work, as I have my own office to change and store stuff. Its also conveniently located by the route I use most often for longer rides. I hate my job, but a few minutes on my bike and Ive already forgotten the ridiculously ridiculous day behind me...
I was an electrician, and wouldn't mind going back to that, then worked as a corrections officer for a number of years, couldn't be happier away from that job. Im getting older though, and need to find something else while I can... I do electrical work, and build/repair/refurbish bicycles in my "free time"... |

VP of engineering at a product development firm I helped found about 20 years ago. Every day is working on 5-10 completely unrelated projects for different clients in different industries with competing timelines and based on different technologies. I have quite the collection of hats.
